My wife uses both Mozilla and Opera for this task on her XP box, and
the latter is better, but both work fine.

I agree. With all the other problems I've had from banks, this is a low
priority with me. My current bank allows us to access the online
interface without fee. Most others charge monthly in this area.

It's not a plug, but I use Wells Fargo because of customer service in
general. They don't go looking for ways to remind me that I'm a nobody.
Every other bank I've dealt with in the past decade has made it a point
to treat my family like dirt because we don't use banking services all
that much. This one isn't insulted by my basic distrust of banks.
